Essential Reading Material Tues Jan 19, 2010 2:40 pm My personal site recently went live, which means 2 literary works I have been working on for quite some time have now been published.
A while back we had a thread at the Dreamcast area of OC that was about HD displays. Quite a bit of debate went on back and forth, and the thread was eventually locked down. I could get into an explanation of those who were write vs wrong in the discussion, but my reasoning for closing the thread down and keeping discussions on HD to a minimum was because of this pending article. Please read: Video Games in an Era of High-Definition "An indepth look at the hurdles of playing video games on High-Definition Displays." by Ben Pekarek After reading this paper you will have a very firm understanding of how to approaching playing your game console(s). There are numerous links for further reading as well. Regardless of where you are at with comprehending the effects of display lag, this extensive article should bring you up to speed rather quickly. Do pass this link around if you encounter people asking about the effects of lag and degernative image anomalies on other forums. Since this guide pretty much explains the issue in meticulious detail, and already makes a firm recommendation for how to approach the matter, we will continue to discourage topics for HD troubleshooting on the forums. So a sticky will be posted in the Lounge Forums linking to this article as well for easy access. You are more than welcome to email me to discuss the topic, but I feel we should all focus on talking about the games above all else. A second article, relates to the nature of online games, as well as restoration. Remember the new section that was supposed to go up at OC in the future? as noted in the rules? Well, this paper brings that section one step closer to reality. Since I started OC I have been closely watching how a userbase interacts with online games from their release to post mortem. The Nature of Online Gaming, defines the lifecycle of internet connected player experiences. This is an important read, especially for newer members to the site. The as yet to be named sub area to OC, will branch off from themes outlined in this article. It will include a history of milestones made in preserving and restoring software relating to the platforms we cover, as well as an FAQ section where you the user can ask questions and have them answered in detail. Thanks for reading, and see you guys online. Regards, -Ben Pekarek Site Director/Founder |
